Product Description

Countless requests for juvenile Red Eared Sliders have inspired us to make this species available in the highest quality possible. We hatch & hand raise Red Ears to pond size for our customers all the time - now we're making juveniles and yearlings available at a most affordable price - remember, the shipping charge is the same for 1 to 6 of all our small sized turtles. (Mix and match as you like)

The most common turtle available the world over, Red Eared Sliders make excellent starter turtles, and adults will brighten up outdoor ponds in nearly all U.S temperature zones. They do well in tanks, water and land setups, and when kept with most other species.

They bask frequently, and will even pile on top of each other for the best sunning position. In community set ups, it's often the red ears example that quicken other species taming down. Red Ears are omnivorous, eating pellets, most greens, insects, fish, mollusks etc.

**Please Note: Red Eared Sliders are not allowed to be shipped to Virginia, Oregon or Florida. Rarer color morphs of Red Eared Sliders, such as Albino Red Ears, Pastel Red Ears, Hypo Red Ears, Hypo Translucent and Ghost Red Ears are permitted to be shipped to Florida. Please contact us if you have any questions - Thank you.**

    So Happy with My Order !

    Posted by Anesha Sandiford on May 28th 2023

    At first I was skeptical to order, but I really wanted a turtle since they aren’t sold in NY. But I was happy with what I received, my turtle came well packaged and even came with some food ! I recommend The Turtle Source to anyone looking !

    The well started hatchling red eared slider I received is very shy for now cause it hasn't figured out yet the I'm it's new feeder yet; but I know with whole lot of patience & time spent it will be just as happy to see me just like my two baby river cooters.

    Happy, beautiful turtles

    Posted by Rev Mom on May 10th 2023

    I have ordered eight of these red eared sliders in all, including two juveniles. We are keeping them in our lake and have a turtle log for them to hang out on-- and they zoomed off into the deep as soon as we set them on that log, and then were basking later that day. The first batch arrived less than16 hours after I ordered them, too! Healthy, lively animals that will contribute to making our lake an even healthier ecosystem.

    So I received my turt when he was just a little hatching and 12 years later he is just as healthy as healthy as can be. He is now in a 1000 gal pond and seems lol he is enjoying everyday.

    Red ear slider

    Posted by Jessie on Mar 9th 2023

    Arrived yesterday, took a while to come out of his shell and is skittish in the terrarium when he sees me, which is normal behavior. He ate a few hours after arriving and is doing really well. Very cool, beautiful coloring, and he has the right environment to both hide a little bit and bask. My son is super happy with his new turtles!

    The team at the turtle Sauris were professional, and seem to really care about their customers. In spite of 8 inches of snow, they got the turtles here alive and well.

    Would buy from them again
